$4.09
From the Brewery
"A slightly salty and tangy beer, fermented with raspberries and rhubarb which give it exceptional freshness and red color!"
Aubuisieres Cuvee de Silex
$27.99
Formerly known as Domaine Bernard Fouquet, until Bernard retired in 2021, handing the reins to Charles Lesaffre. Charles is the grandson of Gérald Bruley des Varannes, the man from whom Bernard's father André acquired his first vineyards, thereby bringing the story of the Domaine full circle. An avid practitioner of viticulture and oenology, Charles joined Bernard as an associate in 2019. Two years into his tenure, Charles has emphasized organic and biodynamic practices. Charles has continued, as Bernard before him, to capture the unique Vouvray mineral tones, along with the wonderfully balanced expression of fruit of the Chenin Blanc grape, in his wines.
The Cuvee de Silex from Domaines des Aubuisieres is made from fifty year--old Chenin Blanc vines in the Loire Valley. Soils for 'Cuvée Silex' are exclusively flint stone (silex in French means flint), imparting a smoky, mineral essence to the wine. Look for a bouquet of pear, green apple, quince, and melon that develops notes of mineral and honey. The wine is ever so slightly off-dry, which lends it a juicy freshness. Expressive and exceptionally well balanced on the palate with lots of lemon and a trace of anise. Great with turkey, spicy Asian dishes and salmon.
Ardbeg Uigeadail
$133.99
This Ardbeg, pronounced (pronounced ‘Oog-a-dal’), is a mariage of ex-Bourbon and ex-sherry casks. It takes it's name from the mysterious Loch that also happens to be Ardbeg Distillery's water source. It is bottled at 54.2%, but is still very approachable and savoury with the melding of sherry notes to Ardbeg's classic style.
La Palma Chardonnay
$17.99
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! A full-blooded Chardonnay 100% grown on La Vina Rosa's estate, surrounded by palm trees (hence the name, La Palma). Boisterous and full of fruit, this Chardonnay is unoaked, so the fruit reigns supreme. Fruity, fresh nose with hints of citrus, lime and vanilla. Delicious peach, pineapple, and white pepper flavours. A round, powerful wine. Because it's unoaked, pair with salad, California sushi rolls, a welcoming spot on your back deck, or all three!
Lagar de Costa Albarino
$34.99
Lagar de Costa is a family winery, managed through more than a century with the effort and dedication of three family generations dedicated to championing the indigenous Albariño grape and to crafting it into high-quality white wines. The vines have an average age of 30-plus years and the wine is a light gold colour with an expressive nose of mineral, spring flowers and lemon meringue. Creamy-textured, rich, vibrant, and well-balanced. It would go well with a wide array of seafood, soft-ripened cheeses or simply on its own in the summer shade.
Ardbeg Corryvreckan
$154.99
The Corryvreckan started out as a replacement for the Airigh Nam Beist but has become a legend in its own right. The whisky has a unique sweet and spicy twist which blends well with the whisky's peaty maritime backbone. Bottled at 57.1% this whisky is often amongst the highest scoring with whisky critics and reviewers. It gets its sweet and spicy characteristics from the French oak in which some of the vatting is matured.
Marie Courtin Efflorescence Brut 2019
$144.99
A Kensington Wine Market exclusive! The champagnes from Marie-Courtin are truly something special. An ultra-fine, elegant style with amazing freshness. Delicate and racy, yet absolutely unique in style thanks in part to biodynamic viticulture. All her grapes are grown in a single plot of 2.5 hectares, which is also the total size of the domain that Dominique Moreau founded in 2000. Because all her wines come from a single vineyard, she has decided to emphasize the differences in champagnes through vinification. There are wines matured in barrique, amphorae, enamel tanks and one without sulfur. All come from the 2.5 hectares of single vineyard on the Kimmeridge marl soil of the Soden, on the Côte des Bar. Winemaker Dominique Moreau, who named the estate after her grandmother, is a master of purism. Her champagnes are delicate and elegant, yet with underlying power and a high degree of drinking pleasure.
Brut Efflorescence (100% Pinot Noir) is at first rather cool and inward, then explodes on the palate with great intensity. It is a fabulous wine endowed with tons of persistence and sheer energy. The aromas and flavors build towards the rich, generous finish.
Croix des Pins Ventoux Rose
$27.99
Made from a blend of near equal parts Syrah, Vermentino, Cinsault, and Grenache, this vibrant Rosé is full of lime and peach notes along with grapefruit, lychee, and a hint of ginger. The 3 Villages Rosé is perfect for the patio, and can be enjoyed with appetizers, fish, poultry or Asian food.
Located in the foothills of the mythical Mont Ventoux, Château La Croix des Pins is a charming and authentic Provencale Bastide that dates back to the 16th century. The winery's rosé is made from grapes grown in vineyards sheltered from the punishing “Mistral” winds in a natural biosphere reserve classified by UNESCO.
Jasper Crisp Pils 6-pack
$16.99
A medium bodied refreshing pilsner from Jasper brewing. The packaging is to commemorate Parks Canada, and is made to look like the park passes of old! Lightly spicy with a hefty malt base (for a pilsner).
